Some Slovak Phrases Hallo everyone! The end of summer is coming slowly but maybe some of you are going to trip to Slovakia in the near future or you are just interessted in this language, so today I bring you some Slovak phrases. Maybe one time it will be useful for you, who knows . Slovak is considered to be more difficult language than, for example English or German, because of declension nouns (to compare with German language – German are used four forms of the nouns and Slovak has six forms). For example: the noun – auto (car): 1. auto 2. autA 3. autU 4. auto 5. autE 6. autoM You have to also differentiate gender s(masculine, feminine and neuter) because each of them has different endings. To make it more complicated, each of genders has four different endings. I think that is what makes it so difficult to foreigners. That was short introduction and now here are some basic phrases. Enjoy it! Ako sa voláš? = What is your name? Ja som.../ Moje meno je... = I am.../ My name is... Koľko máš rokov? = How old are you? Mám ...rokov. = I am ... years old. Ako sa máš? = How are you? Mám sa dobre/zle/ nie dobre. = I am fine/ bad / not good. Čo robíš? = What are you doing? Varím. = I am cooking. Jem. = I am eating. Som hladný (if you are man)/ hladná (of you are woman). = I am hungry. Rád (if you are man)/ rada (if you are woman) ťa spoznávam. = Nice to meet you. Ako sa dostanem...? = How can I get to...? Kde je...? = Where is...? Pochádzam z...= I came from... Prepáč. = Sorry. Ďakujem. = Thank you. Nerozumiem. = I do not understand. Potrebujem pomoc. = I need help. Ľúbim ťa. = I love you. (Of course, I can’t omit this sentence.) Áno. = Yes. Nie. = No. Môžeš to zopakovať? = Could you repeat it?

Hello Karina, 

 

It sounds like Slovak is as difficult as Polish. Yesterday I was talking about Polish verbs with one of my favourite students, and the number of forms a Polish verb can take is mind-boggling. Thank you for your post, it's my intention to travel around Europe next year, and some of these might come in handy :)

I find your entry very useful! I've been to Slovakia several times, but my travel vocabulary is limited to phrases like this. In addition to that, I know the name of some meals such as vyprazany syr, kapustová polievka or bryndzové halusky. Perhaps one day I'll try to learn Slovak properly.
